Dublin Airport incident Thursday Morning!

Wrex · 27-09-2018 8:54am #1

A complete idiot was late for his Ryanair flight to Amsterdam, and managed to make it outside on the the taxi way, and ran to the plane!

How he thought this action would allow him to board is beyond me!

That's dedication

That man REALLY wanted to go to Amsterdam.

KevRossi · 27-09-2018 8:57am

How did he even get out there after the boarding gate was shut?

Broke through the door according to article.

Gob****e

TheBoyConor · 27-09-2018 9:42am

Fair fúcks to him to him. Lunatic.

ArthurG · 27-09-2018 9:48am

Cheek of Ryanair. Could they not let him finish his few pre-breakfast pints before closing the door?

Noo · 27-09-2018 9:51am

What kinda of punishment would you get for a stunt like that?

Cavity search is your only man in a situation like this.

Neyite · 27-09-2018 10:02am

He's bloody lucky he only got arrested. If he tried that in the US he'd probably have gotten shot.

Did he think he was flagging down a bus?

L1011 · 27-09-2018 10:06am

Less than a year since someone tried this in Madrid also - https://www.joe.ie/news/watch-shocking-footage-shows-ryanair-passenger-running-across-tarmac-trying-to-catch-departing-plane-556040

Exit doors have to be emergency activatable in case of an actual emergency; I'd presume this is how the idiots got out in both cases.

Mint Sauce · 27-09-2018 10:06am

How did he get on the Tarmac in the first place? Do our Airport POlice have power of arrest, or is it just to detain. We really do need an Armed Pressence Transport Police/Garda Unit. Could have just as easily been a terrorist.

DrumSteve · 27-09-2018 10:08am

I was wondering what the delay this morning was... mentalist.

California Dreamer · 27-09-2018 10:23am

He could be heard shouting I have an appointment as he ran towards the aircraft!!!!

Nijmegen · 27-09-2018 11:12am

One wonders what additional privations will be forced upon us in response to this incident. The self absorption of some idiots is really astounding. Chasing a plane onto the tarmac is the ultimate in lack of self awareness of surroundings or situation.

NasserShammaz · 27-09-2018 11:36am

Now I remember why I voted for repeal of the 8th. Moron is maybe what he could aspire to with a little help

TheBoyConor · 27-09-2018 11:37am

Remember the time at cork airport where I guy car-jacked a Garda car in the city centre and drove through the fence of Cork Airport and was chased in circles around the apron of the airport. All while arse naked.

Difference was, he was just back from Amsterdam.

blah · 27-09-2018 11:48am

Poor guy was only trying to get his son and ex-wife back after nearly losing his job as a lawyer because his son made a wish and then he wasn’t able to lie.

The boarding gates all have a ‘break glass incase of emergency’ button, like a fire alarm, by law they’re required, most likely he popped it on both doors.
The Airport Police are just basic security gaurds with hand cuffs, some of them are great at their job, a lot of them are useless, the Ryanair staff who held the pax until AP arrived would have the same amount of power as them (civilian arrest) until the Garda arrive and arrest the pax to be charged. You’ll very very rarely see AP put their hands on anyone or even hand cuffs on them, most times it’s just an escort from the terminal to outside by walking or driving, was even the case when a group of people started fighting in the terminal and throwing pint glasses at each other etc, while there was kids there n all, AP police stood back and done nothing, it was a mixture of a couple of different handling agent companies that broke it up and seperated them, then AP stepped in had a chat with said persons and were basically begging us to let them travel on the flights ‘to just rid of them’!, it csn be madness. All persons detained at the airport are handed over to the gardai for arrest and or their charge to be put forward to them.

There are various people at Dublin airport with statutory not common law powers of arrest. The AP are authorized officers under the State Airports Acts and very much have statutory power of arrest under those Acts (formerly the Air Navigation Acts).

Not commenting on the specifics of the glass throwing references but I have seen AP handcuff people several times.

rushfan · 27-09-2018 12:30pm

The above post is interesting to say the least. The suggestion that Airport Police do not have power of arrest is, frankly, nonsense. You might want to check out the appropriate legislation. State airports act 2014. And unless you were at the boarding gate and witnessed the ENTIRE incident , your post is mere speculation.

ED E · 27-09-2018 12:38pm

To those referencing America as a more secure venue:

Surprisingly he wasn't shot and didn't escape the terminal, got through the perimeter fences!

rivegauche · 27-09-2018 12:41pm

Idiocy has a name and "Patrick Kehoe" is it.

He damaged a magnetic door lock.

Ya meeting his supplier

incentsitive · 27-09-2018 12:48pm

I think he had a hard upbringing...............

Oh what might have been - he could have won a fortune on Ryanair scratch cards...

He also brandished his buttox at reporters when released from court.

Apologies if I've confused the man with another rapscallion called Patrick Kehoe

Snipped - name is FAR too common to try make that connection, thanks

AndyBoBandy · 27-09-2018 12:53pm

Mr Kehoe dropped his trousers and mooned press photographers shortly after he left the Criminal Courts of Justice.

He was also "throwing shapes and made hand gestures at the assembled snappers."

What an idiot. Are we sure he wasn't coming from Amsterdam and left something on the plane, ie. his mind.
